Empyema: the use of broad range 16S rDNA PCR for pathogen detection

22 Dec 2004

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: An increase in the incidence of thoracic empyema in children has been reported. The causative pathogen is often unknown as pleural fluid is frequently sterile at the time of culture. The role of unusual organisms is unclear. AIMS: (1) To compare the detection of organisms in pleural fluid from children with empyema using a molecular technique (16S rDNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR)) and bacterial...
